Antique Roulette Machine.

This is out of my price range.....Way out. It operates with quarters. Place one in the slot. Turn a knob to pick a number (each one lights up in order), or pick even/odd red/black, etc. Push the doorbell-like button and the ball is put into play. The wheel is under glass, and is constanly rotating. A ball is ejected into play and finally lands in a hole. It stays stuck in the hole until the next play, at which point it falls through the hole and is loaded into the ejector for the next spin. The interior shows plenty of wiring and electro-mechanical switches. The shop clerk thinks this was at Sam's Town (Nevada) and was transported to the East coast. It dates from the early 1900's (according to the clerk), could 20's.

Price tag......$8,500.00 But it works!
